Shades of the days of my youth when Al Capone would drive through town in a big Lincoln limo and give ‘kindness’ to the poor people.

They are not Baptist, or probably any kind of Christian.

It’s ACORN, reborn.

Here is the link showing all these supposed people are just former ACORN officers/employees.

"Misleading name. THis is ACORN."

How can you tell that they are ACORN?

They apparently recently dropped the Baptist name. They aren't affiliated with the Southern Baptists. They are claimed as a partner organization by one (non-Southern baptist) baptist association in Texas. They claim global operations. They were founded in 1944.

whose mission is to help children and share the gospel.

If they were paying for this themselves I'd say more power to them.

However, they are simply taking money from taxpayers as any other federal contractor. That's they way they get their money.

Liberation theology rears its ugly head again.

From texasbaptist.org before being SCRUBBED. But it's cached at this link:

http://www.zoominfo.com/CachedPage/?archive_id=0&page_id=7157695630&page_url=//texasbaptists.org/2010/02/bcfs-leads-medical-team-into-haiti/&page_last_updated=2014-06-13T05:28:25&firstName=Kevin&lastName=Dinnin

SAN ANTONIO – Baptist Child & Family Services has been requested to provide medical care for children living at the Haiti Children’s Rescue Mission in Petionville, Haiti.

BCFS is sending a medical strike team comprised of a critical care physician, nurses and paramedics, as well as a cache of supplies that include antibiotics and surgical medications.

The team will initially be led into the country by BCFS President/CEO Kevin Dinnin, and then transition it’s month-long operation under the direction of Orlando Hernandez, BCFS Incident Management Team member and former Bexar County Emergency Management Coordinator. A second BCFS medical team may be deployed at the end of February, if necessary.

“This will no doubt be a challenging trip, but our team is focused on our mission at hand: providing much needed medical care for the children who are suffering as a result of the earthquake,” Dinnin said .

There will be many opportunities to travel with BCFS and its global division, Children’s Emergency Relief International, on mission trips to help the organization restore impacted orphanages to their pre-earthquake status or better. Individuals are encouraged to check in with the BCFS web site often for trip schedules.

Yes, they are "Baptist" and a "charity"...one that gets almost all it's money from Uncle Sam...in exchange for betraying the American People!

Thought you’d like that one.

Heard that one from someone and I though it was hilarious, given our current state.

If the church wants to help them with their own money that’s their problem...don’t make it mine by taking taxpayer money and then claim they are being charitable.

Taking taxpayer money on the sly is not the same as running a charity. Complicit with a lawless president, contracting with the government for services which circumvent our laws for an administration acting without congress, and without the knowledge of the citizens is nothing to be admired for.

Separation of church and state.

Unless it forwards the agenda of the left.

Clear and CONCLUSIVE PROOF that this organization is Baptist and NOT ACORN:

http://www.corporationwiki.com/Texas/San-Antonio/kevin-c-dinnin/30153482.aspx

I can see why Baptists would RUN from this "non-profit" as it will certainly damage Sunday's collections for the main Church activities.

After all, they are ENEMIES OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

They seem to be at least a little faith based.

Baptist finds ‘heart’s desire’ in preaching gospel to detained immigrant children

They aren't taking money "on the SLY" or "without the knowledge of citizens". I found their 2012 tax return on the web in plain view of everybody.

Which means they were doing this before this years sudden influx. And government has been paying them for a long time.

Again, it's up to the government to stop the inflow of illegals. Don't blame organizations that were set up to help kids for helping kids.

It’s a scam.

http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2014/07/update-on-bcfs-using-the-word-baptist-in-the-government-organization-title-doesnt-make-it-a-church/

They are playing on good Christians like you by using the name “Baptist” and doing some marginal charitable work.

Where does it say they are affiliated with the Baptists, specifically the Southern Baptist Convention? They only use the word “Baptist” in their name.
